Resource Tycoon Reborn

On April 5th, in the small conference room of Xihailu Agricultural and Soybean Industry Group, all the main management personnel had gathered. Everyone seemed to be worried, and there was little laughter. () After entering April, International

On the market, the price of soybeans has plummeted significantly, and the distribution price of imported soybeans arriving in Hong Kong has also dropped from the peak of 4,300 yuan per ton to 3,300 yuan! At the same time, domestic soybean meal prices have also fallen.

An increase of 30%, but even so, the sales of soybean meal are still not smooth, and the company's sales personnel still need to sell it everywhere.

Everyone knows that this time Tai Shiming summoned everyone, something important must have happened. Everyone just hopes that it won't be bad news.

When Tai Shiming walked into the conference room with Guo Xiangshan, the sales manager of Xihailu Agricultural Soybean Industry Group, everyone present could not help but feel nervous because their expressions were too serious. And Guo

Xiangshan's most important task recently is to negotiate a large purchase contract for soybean oil with Carrefour Group. As the largest retail supermarket chain in China, Carrefour Group has been a major purchasing customer of Xihailu Agricultural Soybean Industry Group for many years. Could it be said that Carrefour?

What happened to the group?

Sales manager Guo Xiangshan said dejectedly: "Chairman, everyone, we have repeatedly negotiated with Carrefour Group. Carrefour Group has clearly stated that it does not accept our price, and even according to Carrefour Group's quotation, new orders are less than

It has dropped by more than 70% since the same period last year!”

"How come there are so few?" Deputy General Manager Ma Buchao said in shock and anger. Although he had thought that this negotiation might not go smoothly, the result was still beyond his expectation. Carrefour Group

How could there be such a decrease in orders? A total reduction of 70%!

Guo Xiangshan said with a bitter look: "We think there are basically the following reasons. First, domestic consumers generally have oil at home. In a short period of time, the consumption of edible oil is not high, so sales

It is not popular. Secondly, Carrefour Group’s own brands have seen rapid growth in market share recently due to maintaining lower prices. We do not rule out the possibility that Carrefour Group intends to support its own brands. Thirdly, the recent domestic controversy over genetically modified technology.

It will also have a certain impact on our product sales. Fourth, it may be Carrefour Group’s retaliation for our original behavior.”

The faces of everyone present could not help but turn a little dark. When Xihailu Agricultural Soybean Industry Group joined forces with major domestic oil companies to jointly promote the rise in edible oil prices in the domestic market, this is understandable. After all, the rise in raw material prices cannot be entirely caused by

Enterprises came to digest it. However, at the beginning of the purchase negotiations with Carrefour Group in March, Xihailu Agricultural Soybean Industry Group still wanted to take advantage of the fact that the international price of soybeans was still high. It once again slightly pushed up the purchase price of Carrefour Group, but was met by Carrefour.

The group's purchasing department refused. Now that the price of soybeans in the international market has dropped by nearly a quarter, it is reasonable for the other party to bargain hard.

Tai Shiming was also filled with bitterness. Although he had already had a premonition that the price of soybeans in the international market was at the end of its tether and would not be able to defeat Lu Jin, he did not expect that as soon as April entered, the price of soybeans in the international market would be like snow.

Like a scorching sun, so much has fallen like an avalanche in just four or five days! This batch of imported soybeans has lost nearly a thousand yuan as soon as it arrived, and then counting the loss of soybean meal, it can be said that

It is said that the more you extract, the more you lose. Xihailu Agricultural Soybean Industry Group will definitely suffer heavy losses this time. Not only did Carrefour Group reduce its purchase quantity significantly, but the purchase price quoted was also shockingly low. It has almost returned to the edible oil level of last year.

Before the price adjustment, Xihailu Agricultural and Bean Industry Group’s plan to enrich the company’s working capital was completely in vain. How can this small amount of income be used to cover the huge purchase payment?

Everyone present had obviously thought of this, and their faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Oh, if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place!" Ma Buchao couldn't help but sigh. His words immediately caused a sigh in the conference room.

"If I had known this, why bother!" Sun Zhaolun sighed. At the end of last year, no one warned that the international market price of soybeans had soared too much, and that international capital should be adding fuel to the fire. Domestic

Enterprises should be careful when purchasing. But who listens?

If you are a smart person, why would you push yourself to this point? As long as you make a hedging transaction, even if you lose money, it is impossible to lose to this level.

He, who has been paying attention to soybean trading and the domestic oil extraction industry, naturally knows that the current decline in international soybean prices has caused these domestic oil extraction companies to suffer heavy losses before they even start operations, and the more they start operations, the greater the losses.

The dilemma. Although those large enterprises can maintain small-scale processing with their strong strength, although those small and medium-sized crushing enterprises that follow the trend and purchase imported soybeans in the highest price range of international soybeans, when the price of domestic soybean products is low,

, the losses are extremely heavy, and even most companies will face the dilemma of bankruptcy. In addition, due to the emergence of macro-control measures to tighten credit in China, this has caused a shortage of funds for soybean crushing companies, and many companies are forced to take measures such as moderate reductions.

Soybean imports, delaying payment to suppliers and other measures to alleviate the current predicament. Some companies that originally had difficulty with capital turnover will even be forced to default due to their inability to pay for soybeans!

But who can be blamed for this? Is it the fault of international capital giants for causing trouble in the market? Or is it the fault of Carrefour Group for not cooperating and even taking advantage of the fire?

"Chairman Sun, Assistant Jiang Leshanjiang is here." The secretary said softly.

"Let him come in." Sun Zhaolun sat up straight and said in a deep voice.

Jiang Leshan quickly walked into the office, saluted Sun Zhaolun and said, "Chairman, do you have anything to ask me?" He has worked for Carrefour Group for many years, but this was the first time he was directly summoned by the chairman alone.

Sun Zhaolun made a gesture and said: "Sit!" Jiang Leshan sat down. Sun Zhaolun looked him up and down, which made Jiang Leshan feel a little uneasy.

"Assistant Jiang, in the past few years, you have been responsible for the management of the group company's own brands, especially the edible oil area, and your work has been outstanding!" Sun Zhaolun smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Mingyuan recommended it to me.

You, so now you have a very difficult job that the company is going to entrust to you. I wonder if you are willing to accept this challenge?"

"Young Master Fang recommended me?" Jiang Leshan said in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Fang recommended you! He thinks you are very suitable for this job. He wants me to tell you that although this job is very challenging, once successful, it will not only bring many benefits to the company, but also benefit the country and the people."

"Bring it on." Sun Zhaolun said with a smile. If Fang Mingyuan hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have noticed that there was actually a big fish lurking in his company! This Jiang Leshan, who is usually unobtrusive, has a really good background.

Not small. However, Jiang Leshan was able to enter the Carrefour Group headquarters and become an important manager, but it was entirely due to his own ability.

Jiang Leshan thought in his mind and immediately said: "The chairman and Mr. Fang value me so much, of course I am respectful rather than obedient!" Of course, Fang Mingyuan could not harm him and give him an impossible task.

Sun Zhaolun laughed heartily. Jiang Leshan did not ask what kind of job it was, nor did he put forward any conditions, which made him very happy.

When Jiang Leshan walked out of Sun Zhaolun's office, there was already some unconcealable joy in his eyebrows. Sun Zhaolun told him that Carrefour Group planned to integrate the seven oil-extracting companies currently under it into a new one.

under the company, and this task was entrusted to him. If the final integration result satisfies the group company, then he will be the first official general manager of this new company!

Jiang Leshan has been in charge of the Carrefour Group's own brand management for a period of time recently, especially the edible oil area, which is under his direct control. He naturally knows that the seven oil-pressing companies under the Carrefour Group

The most detailed situation. Although these seven oil-pressing companies are all medium-sized companies acquired by Carrefour Group in recent years, after Carrefour Group's investment and transformation, they are now considered elite companies in the industry. The seven companies jointly process soybeans every year.

The scale reaches more than 3.8 million tons. The merged enterprise can be regarded as a large enterprise in the domestic crushing industry.

Although these seven oil-extracting companies are also facing the dilemma of the sluggish domestic soybean meal market, the soybean raw materials they used before were all reserved before large-scale soybean price increases. Entering 2004

After 2003, the domestic edible oil market fell into a period of decline again, so it was not greatly affected. Although profits are definitely not as good as in 2003, they are still making profits. This is compared to most domestic peers.

, it’s already heaven!

And in Jiang Leshan's view, the slump in the soybean meal market is only temporary. As the impact of avian influenza gradually recedes, the price of soybean meal has also declined significantly. The domestic breeding industry's demand for soybean meal is still very strong. Poultry eating

No, you can still feed pigs and cows. It’s just that the early impact of avian influenza was too strong and the market price of soybean meal was too high, which suppressed the demand for soybean meal.

Fang Mingyuan, this is not putting more burden on him, this is clearly giving him a chance to take off! (To be continued...)
